al qaeda is reconstituting itself all around the mideast. lou: and thank you very much.@ ed henry, fos chi white house correspondent. joining us now is the "a-team". let's start, if we may call wit you. this is a president who is changing their rhetoric about the global war and terror, seeming to want to adopt some narrowpecific nguage about the threat rather than put them together and make incomprehensive. is that the way thatou would read the president's statement? >> i was ju amazed that you could actually frameeit that wa because this was anntirely rhetorical device on the president's part. you're rht. there iso there in the president's speech. the war and terror wi live in
10:08 pm
simply because he willses, and whether or nothe calls a war on terror or a series of persistence, targeted effortssto dismantle specific networks of violent extremists, heaven help us if we have to use the word i law make or islamist. it is the same. you cannot just kill him and sa no problem. we will move along. lou: specifically i think ffrst and foremost cause of this president is not accountable to the amican people,e, what diseases were taken that led to the vulnerability of r stallations in benghazi, the murders and the wounding of others at benghazi, and nine month stone wall. >> i think you're getting to somethin very specific. a lot of peoe take a look at the speech at the last nearly five years and say this president doesot have a coherent plan will tional-security strategy. when it com to the middle east an the war terror and dealing with this specific enemy
10:09 pm
, i think the exact opposite is true. i thinkhat he do have an approach that is actually rkin against our interests and the interest of israel, and that is to elevate the islamist acacross the region. you see it happening in egypt, tunisia, libya, nown sious. the same time, he has limited america's -- that is a huge mistake because americans islamist enemy i not limited to al qae. lou: a real mistake. >> beating al qaeda as the enem is so much bigger. lou: is in the real mistake her that we haveot destroy the enemy? we have been engaged with the enemy r 12 years. this is a president now talking as if now is going to behigh -- high noon and the war is over. starting with guantanamo.
10:10 pm
the guys that are there are still bad guys. you sendhem back to yemen, which is not a safe havenor us . it is a safe haven for terrorists. equally important, drones have workedffectively. lo wh you are saying is the president is now going to be reasing terrorists with a recidivism rate of about 28%or more andlso limiting the use of drugs which ha been the most effective means tt he has employ in the war against radical islist. >>nd then argue unless you are sure the person is a teist and they know that there is no potential of any othe casualties, it is crazy. lou: we have given thepresen his do. we have dealt with theubject. now let's go back to wt is really important, and that is a government that is lying to the answer to congress and be to accountable and to hold accountable thoswho serve this
